Bringing Nature Into Your Home

I love to decorate our home with items we find in nature. Every Sunday I’m going share one of these arts and crafts projects with you. I hope some of these ideas inspire you to bring nature into your home.

Week 1: Dried flowers, grasses and seed pods in a wooden vase.

The next time you're out walking in the forest, park or your garden, gather a variety of items that are beautiful to you. It's amazing what you can find in the middle of winter. I try to gather a mix of colors and textures. I'm also drawn to anything with a unique shape. I made this vase out of an old beaver chew log but you can display your items in anything you have or find. Have a great week!

About Me

I am an artist, nature-lover and homeschooling mom.
I am deeply inspired by the changing seasons and the colors, textures and designs of the natural world.
I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Coming home with dirt on my jeans and an arm full of roots and sticks is a sign of a good day.
For most of my adult life I've been committed to protecting the environment and the wild places that I love. When my first son was born 8 years ago I had an opportunity to focus on my art and connect with the natural world in a wonderful new way.
Thanks for joining me on this journey.
